If I was of Nordic descent I'd totally want to get rune tattoos, but still probably wouldn't because of the crossover of nazi assholes that have them as well.

Yeah no that is an instant signifier of nazi-sympathies around here. Don't.

Does Blade in the comics ever just show up to Iron Man going on and on about his long war with the vampires and how everything is so screwed, then Ironman just bangs out a UV-laden suit in like 5 minutes and solves the whole problem?

Tony never solves a problem, at best he deals with an immediate situation and makes a greater problem down the road.

Conversely, Blade was once a Spider-Man. Blade > Tony.

But yeah, Snipes was a great Blade. They really aught to make a new movie with him.

By Blade 3 he was having other people do his scenes and wouldn't leave his trailer, so maybe reboot Blade, because Snipes is a massive diva.

Oh, never realize that (now the joke earlier makes sense). I only saw the movie once and gave up when they introduced Triple H and I realized they were keeping him in the movie for more than 5 seconds. Honestly I can't really blame him for not wanting to be involved.

The comic vampires are a bit more hardcore than the movies. Dracula once invaded and took over a military space station so he could fire torpedos, with vampires hidden inside, at England.

Is that the story where the british captain america stopped him by invoking the old rule that vampires can't enter without invitation, but for the entire Earth's atmosphere?

Yeah, the torpedo is how they got around it. I can’t remember if the torpedo was going so fast that the barrier didn’t do enough damage to the vampires inside or that by choosing not to shoot the torpedoes out of the sky they were given implied permission to enter.

Still wouldn’t bet on a revival happening given the contractual issues, but hey, if a Disney exec is putting it out there as a possibility, it’s a possibility.

This might just be the year
As much as I liked them, the shows were mostly declining in quality and popularity and were expensive so I don't know why they would keep them

I lament the Netflix Marvel shows over wasted potential more than anything else. The biggest fix for nearly every show (except Iron Fist, which I absolutely did not watch) would be to insist on a hard cap of 10 episodes a season.

They could easily get more mileage out of these characters and plotlines if they would take the leap they need to and combine Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist into Heroes for Hire. Then just spin off Misty and Colleen into Daughters of the Dragon. Would allow them to put a new spin on things. Danny can cameo in DotD to finish out his IF storylines. Luke's Harlem's Paradise plotline could easily just be dropped off screen. Jessica doesn't even really have any big continuing plot lines unless something comes up in season 3.

Okay, so, they were actually firing vampires out of their flying space galleon, and all vampires everywhere need a specific individual invitation to enter England because of how Quincy Harker bequeathed his skull to be used in his will. All the vampires in Dracula's orbital invasion fleet burned up when they hit the magical barrier at terminal velocity, at which point MI:13 and the SAS attacked the survivors at Dracula's moon castle.

What I'm :goonsay:ing is that Captain Britain and MI:13 is a fantastic book and everybody should read it.

'The Punisher' Season 2 Villain Is an Alt-Right Christian Fundamentalist

quote:

In a new report from Collider, we finally learned more about Frank Castle's latest foe for The Punisher Season 2, a character named John Pilgrim played by actor Josh Stewart. The villain has been described as Alt-Right, a term that's associated with white nationalism and extreme conservatives.

"On the exterior, [John Pilgrim] is a man who is a Christian Fundamentalist who had a rage, a violent side of him," Stewart said. "It’s buried deep. I think where this is all headed, that sort of side of him is going to resurface a bit."

Pilgrim is said to contrast Billy Russo, who will also return for Season 2, as a creepier and more uptight foe for Frank Castle.

While Russo will be appearing in the new season, he won't be going under the name of Jigsaw. Instead, that term will apply to the character's fragmented psyche after the events of the first season.

"He’s trying to piece together what happened to him and who he is. There is the metaphor at one point that his brain is the jigsaw that he’s trying put the pieces back together of," actor Ben Barnes said to Collider.

Hey that sounds decent I wonder what can go wro

quote:

As for the man himself, Frank Castle won't be doing some Punishing from the get go. It will take the actions of John Pilgrim and his allies to draw the violent side of Frank Castle out into the open. But when Castle does put on that skull-adorned vest, it will be an epic moment.

That could either mean a lot of boring mystery-solving bullshit like most of last season or it could mean Frank trying to be a civilian again like the first episode, which was great.

Honestly if they hadn't finished shooting when Luke Cage was canned they have no excuse if they didn't film a non cliffhanger ending at the last minute.

Dec 1, 2009

Joyous.
They've clearly finished filming the season's scripts; unless you're cast and/or crew a "cliff-hanger season" is moot.

The writing in the first season effectively honed in on Frank's anti-crime spree being psychopathic in itself, which is key to making a good Punisher story; I'd be surprised if there was a drastic drop in quality.
